After being exiled, the Crown Princess rose to the top by pitting the villain
Chapter 36: Expensive Food
Well, now there’s no need to set off at all.
Because Qin Da was more seriously injured.
Lin Zili did a lot of self-examination.
How can one be so impulsive? He has ruined Qin Da. When the dog emperor finds out, he will have to send others to deal with everyone in Prince Jin's Mansion. By then, the enemy will be in the dark and they will be in the light. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
It’s not good to be so impulsive. It’s really not good.
But teasing Qin Da like this really made him feel relaxed and comfortable both physically and mentally, and his whole body felt relaxed.
Life is about being crazy, leaving the danger to tomorrow!
Since they couldn't set off, the exile teams could only rest where they were.
At this time, everyone was tired and hungry, their faces were sallow and their bodies were very haggard.
The officers took off the cakes, steamed buns, old rice and other things they were carrying and shouted: "There is no free food in this world. If you want to eat something clean, do you know what to exchange for it?"
There were two baskets in front of everyone, one contained cakes and steamed buns, and the other contained steamed buns that were gray and stone-like, hard and irritating to the teeth just by looking at them.
Lin Zili took a glance and almost rolled her eyes.
My goodness, this thing is even more outrageous than the steamed buns she made.
The contrast is so strong that any normal person would know what to choose.
When the officials saw everyone coming forward, they continued, "A cake is two taels of silver each, a steamed bun is eight hundred coins each, a small bowl of rice is one white coin, and there is a pot that can be rented for one guan of silver at a time. As for other things, the price will naturally be higher..." the official said, pointing to the items wrapped in oil paper.
Fresh food is difficult to store in this kind of weather, so you should eat food that is easy to store, such as bacon.
Lin Zili leaned against the flatbed cart, seemingly thinking about something. After a while, she rolled her eyes and said exaggeratedly, "Wow, what a precious food."
"Lu Xi, I heard him hallucinating. He asked how much is a pancake or a steamed bun?"
Yunsong leaned against the tree with his arms folded, his mouth wide open in disbelief.
"Two taels, eight hundred coins, one hundred coins, one string of coins." Yun Luxi was so angry that she laughed.
"Before, I blamed the Chen family for overcharging customers. Now, in comparison, the Chen family is simply a conscientious business. I didn't expect that the pancakes cost two taels each. Even if I bought a pound of noodles, it was only five cents."
"Tsk, you don't understand, can this pancake be made of ordinary flour? This is clearly a scam. If you eat it, it will become a cheating pancake. This kind of pancake is hard to come by, so it must be expensive."
Wow, I didn't expect that she would be so poor that she couldn't even afford a cake.
This pancake can earn an average person half a year’s wages.
When it comes to being black-hearted, who could be more evil than these police officers? After this trip, they will surely become nouveau riche!
Lin Zili was very sad about her blindness. When Qin Da was injured before, they all looked gloating, which made her have the illusion that the officials were good people.
"Hey, when I was living in Chen's house, I heard that a family at the end of the street was also a runner. After going to the northwest, they were originally too poor to marry a wife, but now they immediately married a beautiful wife and even bought all the household items. So that's how they made money. I said, second brother, you wanted to open a shop to make money, but what did you open? It's much better to be a runner."
"So, I am regretting it now. I should have been an official. I might have everything now."
"There are more ways to make money. See that pot? It's a coin. We can buy pots and pans and rent them out. We'll be rich before we even reach the north. We don't need to farm to support our family. It would be great to buy a house in town and just lie down."
"Sister-in-law, this is a good idea. How many pots do you think we should buy? Should we also buy some other things? We have too many exiles, and we can't afford less."
"We also need to buy some salt and chili powder. The Ma family has a strong appetite, so it's appropriate to slaughter them."
"It's a pity that Lord Qin has enough food and clothing. Don't mention it. I'm good at making snacks. I can only sell them to him for one or two taels of gold. I'll make less money..."
When Yun Zhiyu heard this, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Did Li'er have any misunderstanding about her cooking skills? Could she have forgotten that the hard steamed bun had left a dent on Yun Jingyong's face?
However, since he is not the one being cheated, it is fine to sell it for one hundred taels.
Yun Zhiyu hadn't seen the princess for a while. He quietly opened his eyes when no one was paying attention, and saw that the princess was being harassed by her uncle, the eldest master of the Wei family. Her cold expression had softened a little.
The Wei family is definitely not someone you can truly trust.
Yun Zhiyu's face turned cold, and he winked at Yun Jun and Yun Wu Liao, who were closest to him, asking them to go find Concubine Wu and let Concubine Wu go to accompany the princess.
Somehow, Yun Zhiyu always felt that the smell on Yun Wuliao was somewhat familiar and unpleasant. He frowned and stared at Yun Wuliao's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Yun Song, Yun Luxi and others spoke loudly on this end, and at a time when everyone was shocked by the sky-high prices, their conversation was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone heard it clearly.
The other officers didn't care what they said at all, as long as they could make some money. Officer Zhou San lowered his head a little embarrassedly. Only Li Liu didn't get involved. He just glanced at Lin Zili quickly, then lowered his head again and wiped his sword silently.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you want to be whipped?"
Wang Si couldn't bear to hear such words, so he lashed him with a whip, which just happened to pull the wound on his body. His face turned pale with pain.
"You, the Yun family, have had a lot of things to do along the way. You are not allowed to eat tonight!"
Wang Si winked at the officials around him, wanting them to help him beat up the Yun family and teach them a lesson.
The other officers would not be fooled by him.
Wang Si had displeased Qin Da today, so he wanted to teach the Yun family a lesson for trying to please him. What was the point of them stepping forward to help? The credit would not be attributed to them. Besides, if someone was beaten to death, how could they make any money?
There are a lot of good things in the Yun family's bag. If someone is beaten to death, they will have no chance to make money.
The officers thought it through very thoroughly, so they just continued to call on everyone to come and buy cakes, and had no intention of paying any attention to Wang Si.
As for whether the Yun family would eat tonight, they had no interest in caring.
Wang Si was so angry that his head felt dizzy, but he couldn't get angry because after all, he still needed their help to heal his injuries.
He had no place to vent his anger, so he could only say to Lin Zili viciously: "You idiot, come over here and give the remaining people the steamed buns!"
"Me?" Lin Zili blinked her big eyes, looking extremely reluctant, "I don't want to go. There's no benefit. It's just fooling fools."
Wang Si wanted to say, isn’t it just to deceive you, a fool?
But he suddenly felt a chill on his back and didn't say anything.
Everyone says that this idiot is a disaster star, so why did he provoke her? Does he think his life is too long?
Wang Si now just wants to slap himself to wake up.
But the words have been spoken, and he is a man who cares about his reputation, so he cannot take them back.
"If you don't come over, you'll be whipped!"
The price the officials asked for was really outrageous. Most families did not have much silver after being exiled, and some even had nothing, so they naturally could not afford it. So many people chose to eat gray steamed buns. Distributing the steamed buns was not an easy job.
But this job is exactly what Lin Zili needs most right now.
Wang Si did not go over. Instead, he waved his whip and kicked over the basket of free dusty steamed buns. The buns rolled to the ground and were covered with dust. Now, they looked even more like stones.
Everyone was used to enjoying themselves and had never encountered such a thing. When they saw the basket being kicked over, everyone's faces were filled with resentment and unwillingness for a moment.
"The Yun family has caused us so much trouble. As the nominal mistress, shouldn't you be responsible for our food along the way?"
